As seasons change, temperatures rise and fall. The changes affect our preferences when it comes to driving cars. Therefore, Aston Martin introduces the new DB11 Volante or convertible, and it looks like a combination of the coupe’s gorgeous lines with a soft top that can be lowered in only 14 seconds.

When the DB11 is released in the market, customers will only have one option - that is the Mercedes-AMG-sourced 4.0 liter biturbo V8, paired to an eight-speed automatic that brings power to the rear wheels. Similar to the coupe, it enables the convertible to produce 503 horsepower (375 kilowatts) and 513 pound-feet (675 Newton-metres) of torque. A standard limited slip differential improves traction as well.

In just 4.1 seconds, it can finish the 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) sprint, before continuing to its 187 mile per hour (300 kph) top speed. Though it has the same maximum velocity as the coupe, the convertible is a tenth of a second slower to 62 mph.

Following the successful launch of the original Vengeance at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, Khan Design unveils a convertible version of the coupe this year – the Vengeance Volante.

The new vehicle’s bodywork will have a special front fascia featuring large black grille and vertical slats. As a special model, both its front and rear bumpers have been refashioned for it to become more distinct from its donor car.

Taking a closer look at the rear specs, apparent qualities of the Aston Martin DB7 Zagato can be seen such as sweeping streamlined curves and round shape taillights and outstanding trunk lid spoiler. The two-tone roulette-like alloy wheels with dimensions of 20 inches at the front axle and 21 inches at the back have been sourced from the sedan from where the cabriolet has also inherited the exhaust system with dual exhaust tips featuring crosshair design.

When Kahn Design unveiled the Kahn Vengeance super coupe at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, it was nothing short of impressive, both in terms of looks and dynamics. The Kahn Vengeance coupe was essentially a derivative of the elegantly sporty Aston Martin DB9 coupe.

For this year’s version of the Geneva Motor Show, Kahn will be taking the veil off its own interpretation of the convertible version of the DB9, the Aston DB9 Volante. This interpretation is dubbed as the Kahn Vengeance Volante, and is essentially a droptop version of the Vengeance coupe. So far, Kahn Design has provided a single teaser image about the new Kahn Vengeance Volante – weeks before its official unveiling at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show in March. The teaser image shows the side profile of the Kahn Vengeance Volante. While the image was rather blacked out and displays only the silhouette Kahn Vengeance Volante, it surely tells a lot.

It seems that a good part of the Kahn Vengeance coupe still lives on the Volante version. We can even safely assume and say that the Kahn Vengeance Volante is just a chopped off variant of the coupe launched last year. In fact, basing from the teaser image, the Kahn Vengeance Volante still features the same old-school rounded taillights and the same roulette-style two-tone alloy wheels. Of course, there are quite a number of revisions made, aside from the removed hard-top roof. But overall, the image of the Vengeance Volante coupe didn’t entirely veer off from the Vengeance coupe. But it wasn’t really easy for Kahn Design to convert the Vengeance coupe into the Vengeance Volante.

The Aston Martin Vanquish hasn’t changed much since it was unveiled in 2012. Until today, its elegant and athletic design continues to be a stunning head-turner. In fact, if you are new to the Aston Martin brand, you wouldn’t think that this form is nearly five years old. A year later in 2013, Aston Martin revealed the Volante or the convertible version of the Aston Martin Vanquish.

Now, the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante is receiving an “S” designation, which means that the latest model – the Aston Martin Vanquish S Volante – will be much superior in terms of performance, thanks to a number of improvements made.

As it is, the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante is already a powerful being. Its core is an all alloy quad overhead cam 48-valve 6.0-liter V12 front mid-mounted engine that sends 424 kW (568 bhp or 576 PS) of max output at 6,650 rpm and 630 Nm (465 lb.-ft.) of peak torque available at 5,500 rpm. With this power level, the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante could accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds and from nil to 100 km/h in 4.0 seconds. Top speed of the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante is set at 197 mph (317 km/h).

Earlier this year, Aston Martin wowed the world with a stunning concept car – the Vanquish Zagato. The concept made its first appearance in May during the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in Lake Como, Italy. It is another one of Aston Martin’s collaboration projects with Zagato that is seen to be at par with the beauty that was the 1960 DB4 GT. It is distinctly Zagato but it comes with certain flourishes that make it even more remarkable.

The Vanquish Zagato comes with a trademark double-bubble roof and a very imposing front grille that adds to its unique Zagato styling. It also comes with quad exhausts that help us hear the roar of its 5.9-liter V12 engine better. The Vanquish Zagato can make up to 600 horsepower, making it 27 horsepower more awesome than the regular Vanquish. To make the car even more special, it comes with supportive leather seats embellished with a unique “Z” quilting pattern.

Not long after the British luxury car manufacturer introduced the hardtop Vanquish Zagato, the automaker has once again made an appearance at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance with another showstopper. Aston Martin once again wowed the crowd with an even more stunning masterpiece, the Vanquish Zagato Volante – a convertible version of the hardtop Vanquish Zagato.

Aston Martin Vanquish and Vanquish Volante models are now updated for the 2015MY and as expected, the vehicles are faster and more efficient. For the 2015MY, Aston Martin Vanquish and Vanquish Volante are now available with a new Touchtronic III 8-speed automatic transmission developed by ZF, which is bolted to the 6.0-liter V12 engine delivering 568 bhp (+3 bhp over its predecessor) and 465 lb-ft (630 Nm) of torque at 5,500 rpm.

As a result, the Vanquish is much faster as the 0-60 mph time dropped from 4.1 to 3.6 seconds (3.8 seconds 0-100 km/h). Meanwhile, fuel economy was improved by 7 percent in the US combined cycle and CO2 emissions dropped by 10 percent to 298 g/km.

Top speed was improved too and the 2015 Aston Martin Vanquish is capable of doing over 200 mph or 320 km/h. And this is not all as the new transmission is 3 percent lighter than its predecessor.

A bespoke example of the new 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish Volante was introduced to the public at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. It actually was initially presented this summer at the Pebble Beach Automotive Week. At the show in LA, the new Vanquish was displayed in conjunction with dealer partner, Galpin Aston Martin of California.

Q by Aston Martin (the brand’s bespoke customisation division) handcrafted the Neiman Marcus Edition Vanquish Volante. This exclusive car took inspiration from the iconic (1969) DB6 Volante owned by HRH Prince of Wales. In fact, it was featured in the Royal wedding of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Kate Middleton.

It made its debut as one of the items on the 2013 Neiman Marcus Fantasy Christmas Catalogue. Only 10 examples will be made of this model, which is the first Vanquish Volante to be available in the U.S. Vanquish Volante is the first fully carbon fibre-skinned Volante ever built in the company’s long 100-year history. It’s also the stiffest Volante body structure built by the engineering team at Aston Martin’s global HQ in Gaydon, Warwickshire, England.

It’s that time of the year again folks and Neiman Marcus has just announced plans to offer a limited edition of the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante in their annual Christmas Book. The limited edition Vanquish Volante comes with an exclusive Seychelles Blue exterior and features an Atlantic Blue soft top. Under the hood, we find the naturally aspirated 6.0-liter V12 engine that produces 565 hp and 457 pound-feet of torque.

All that power is sent to the rear wheels via the six-speed Touchtronic 2 automatic transmission. The car also offers a three-mode Adaptive Damping System what allows the drive to choose the character of his ride. The top speed achieved by the vehicle is 183 mph or 294 km/h.

Aston Martin will unveil its new Vanquish Volante at the 2013 Pebble Beach Automotive Week in California, which is slated from August 14-18, 2013. The unveiling of the new Vanquish Volante will complete the trio of spectacular world debuts that Aston Martin set for its centenary year. The 2013 Pebble Beach Automotive Week will be an important venue for Aston Martin, as it is where it would have the global debut of the 2014 Vanquish Volante as well as the US debut of the 2015 V12 Vantage S and CC100 Speedster Concept.

Aston Martin will show the new Vanquish Volante and V12 Vantage S at a series of celebratory events set during the Pebble Beach Automotive Week. Aston Martin plans to show the CC100 concept for the first time in North America at the climax of the Automotive Week. The CC100 concept will cap Aston Martin’s presence at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, where the brand is a featured marque for the 2013 event on August 18, 2013.

Julian Jenkins, Aston Martin’s Regional Director for The Americas, remarked that they the Pebble are delighted to be a featured marque at the Pebble Beach Automotive Week for 2013 as the brand celebrates its first 100 years.

Aston Martin introduced the Vanquish Volante, a new convertible that sits at the pinnacle of its lineup. Featuring a triple-skin lightweight fabric roof, the new car transforms from a coupe into a stylish convertible in just 14 seconds and at speeds of up to 30 mph. Regarding the design, we must admit that this is quite impressive as the new Vanquish Volante features elongated side strakes and LED rear light blades derived from the One-77 supercar.

The fabric roof sits beneath a tonneau and decklid that have been aerodynamically tuned for optimum performance. The new windscreen is not full height, which is a fisrt for Aston Martin and now the glass runs up to meet the fabric roof, thereby reducing visual 'clutter'. The interior features luxurious materials such as full grain Luxmil leather with optional quilting, Alcantara and satin chrome.

Each body panel of the car is made from carbon fiber and according to the official press release, this is not because of its high strength-to-weight ratio, but also for its flexibility of form.
